A Back Turned

Life An infinite symphony if moments That all scream 'now!' But not every work is a masterpiece Nor every great man a leader. And where is it written That only villains shall fall, And every hero shall live? For only fallen heroes are martyrs And every fallen villain a victory. The storm gathers, and a storm breaks But I know this is not it- The lightning still hides Behind the clouds. The rain still falls for seconds Before the wind just blows it all away. The thunder still sounds like the trumpets of the heavens Until the sound passes through my chest. The sky still darkens, But the clouds, like everything, only come to leave.
